Dublin-based singer Bradley Marshall has just released his first official single Make Believe. We asked him the BIG questions . . .

Speaking about the track, he says, "I can't wait to show people what I can do. I wanted to write a song that people could relate to, and I think I did that with Make Believe.

"Connecting with people through my music is important to me. I feel this is the ideal way to start my journey"

Tell us three things about yourself?

I’m told that I have a good sense of humour. I’m a huge Man Utd fan. I try to maintain a positive outlook no matter what.

How would you describe your music?

Melodic, emotional, raw, and definitely heartfelt. Every time I write or sing, it’s coming from somewhere deep within.

Who are your musical inspirations?

Justin Bieber, Bruno Mars, Dermot Kennedy, Ryan Hennessy, and James Arthur have always been up there as my favourite artists. Each one of them inspires me in different ways.

What was the first gig you ever went to and the first record you ever bought/downloaded?

I think Bruno Mars was my first concert when I was a young teen and I'm pretty sure Grenade was the first song I downloaded on my MP3 player.

What’s your favourite song right now?

It has to be As It Was by Harry Styles. On first listen, it feels like such a happy song but if you strip it down it's quite sad. I love that approach when writing music.

Favourite lyric of all time?

Has to be "Lights will guide you home and ignite your bones and I will try to fix you" from Fix You by Coldplay. What a song.

If you could only listen to one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Wow tough one. I'd have to go with Imagine by John Lennon.

Where can people find your music/more information?

You can find me on TikTok and Instagram at BradleyMarshallMusic. Twitter is the only different one and that’s Brdmrshllmusic.
